With the holiday season just around the corner, deals on VR headsets are selling fast. The Meta Quest 3 continues to remain the gold standard in this arena. Right now, the more affordable but equally popular Meta Quest 3S (128GB with a Gorilla Tag bundle) is $249.99 (originally $299.99) on Amazon, marking a 17% discount and its lowest price ever, according to price-tracking tools.
PCMag gave this headset an Editor’s Choice Award and dubbed it the “Best Affordable VR Headset”; this detailed review praises its fast processor, color-pass-through camera, and versatility across many games and apps. The Meta Quest 3 can work standalone or tethered to a PC.
It has a 1,832-by-1,920 per-eye resolution, which is slightly grainier than the pricier Quest 3 but still crisp, and supports up to 120Hz refresh rate. The processor is on par with the Quest 3, but this sale model only has 128GB of storage, compared to the Quest 3’s 512 GB. While the battery is smaller, it’s longer-lasting (2.5 hours vs. 2.2 hours) due to the lower-resolution display.
The headset features intuitive Meta Quest Touch Controllers identical to the Quest 3’s, but they must be in view of the headset to track accurately. The Meta Quest Library has a huge selection of experiences; that said, it’s better for gaming and gamified education, art, and exercise apps than for a serious work tool.
While the graphics aren’t as sharp as the Quest 3 and have a narrower field of view, it offers an equally compelling VR experience for a lower price tag ($250 less), making the Meta Quest 3S a fantastic budget VR headset.
